BUTCHER'S TALE Illustrated lyric
I performed vocals with The Zombies on their special 'Odessey and Oracle' Tours in the UK, Europe and the USA. I have completed a few art projects connected to this brilliant classic 1960's band. Here is one of them:
I asked Rod Argent, Colin Blunstone and Chris White to write out specific lines from songs they wrote for The Zombies to use in collages I made to accompany copies of their handwritten lyrics. I made images for the 12 songs of their classic album 'Odessey and Oracle' and 12 other songs from various eras.
This one is Butcher's Tale by Chris White from the 1968 album 'Odessey and Oracle'. One of the best anti-war songs I know. Terry Quirk, the artist who created the album cover, gave me his permission to use details of his work.
There are a total of 24 different song images printed onto Arena Milk 300 gsm A3 paper.
